Molybdenum Crucible Type

* Pressed and Sintered Crucibles

The powder is pressed and sintered to the final shape. They are one of the types of the most popular crucibles.

* Spin-formed Crucibles

Large molybdenum plate blanks are hot spun-formed to the specified product geometry.

* Milled Crucibles

Material blanks are machined to the final product. This type of molybdenum crucible is also very popular.

* Welded Crucibles

Large crucibles with thinner wall thickness, and we recommend welded molybdenum crucibles.

Molybdenum Crucible Applications

1. High Temperature Melting: Due to the high melting point of molybdenum (approximately 2623 degrees Celsius or 4743 degrees Fahrenheit), Molybdenum Crucibles (Mo Crucibles) are commonly used in high-temperature melting processes such as the melting of metals, ceramics, or other high melting point materials.

2. Single Crystal Growth: Molybdenum Crucibles (Mo Crucibles) are used as sample-carrying vessels in single crystal growth processes. Its high-temperature resistance and chemical inertness make it an ideal vessel for growing high-temperature single crystals.

3. Vacuum heat treatment: Due to its stability at high temperatures and in vacuum environments, Molybdenum Crucibles (Mo Crucibles) is often used for vacuum heat treatment, such as high-temperature treatment of metals or heat treatment experiments.

4. Chemical analysis: Molybdenum Crucibles (Mo Crucibles) are used as sample containers in some chemical analysis experiments, especially when the experiments need to be carried out under high-temperature conditions.

5. Laboratory research: In a laboratory environment, Molybdenum Crucibles (Mo Crucibles) can be used for a variety of high-temperature experiments, including research on the nature of substances, synthetic reactions, and high-temperature reactions.

6. Metal smelting: Molybdenum Crucibles (Mo Crucibles) are used as containers for carrying and holding metal samples in metal smelting processes, especially at high temperatures.

Product Comparison

Crucible Material	Melting Point (°C)	Max. Service Temp. (°C)	Relative Cost	Key Characteristics & Typical Applications
Nickel (Ni)	1,455	≤ 700	Medium	Excellent alkali resistance. Suitable for fusing with sodium hydroxide, sodium peroxide, etc. Oxidizes easily in air; not for igniting and weighing precipitates.
Silver (Ag)	960	≤ 750	High	Low melting point. Resists potassium/sodium hydroxide attack. Avoid sulfur-containing substances and concentrated acids. Not suitable for weighing precipitates.
Gold (Au)	1,063	≤ 700	High	Excellent corrosion resistance. Can replace platinum for hydrofluoric acid or alkali hydroxide treatments. Low service temperature due to its low melting point.
Platinum (Pt)	1,774	Long-term: 1,200	Expensive	Extremely stable chemical properties. Resistant to hydrofluoric acid and molten carbonates. Ideal for precise ignition/weighing of precipitates and hydrofluoric acid digestions.
Molybdenum (Mo)	2,610	2,000 (Inert/Vacuum)	High	Superior high-temperature strength. Good oxidation resistance. Used for sapphire crystal growth, rare-earth metal smelting, and vacuum deposition.
Niobium (Nb)	2,468	1,200-1,800 (Est.)	High	High melting point and good corrosion resistance. Typically used in high-temperature vacuum or inert atmosphere environments.
Tungsten (W)	3,370	2,200-2,500 (Est.)	Very High	Highest melting point of all metals. Suitable for the most extreme temperatures. Brittle, difficult to machine, and generally more expensive than molybdenum.
Rhenium (Re)	3,180	2,300-2,800 (Est.)	Extremely Expensive	Very high melting point and good strength. Its extreme cost limits use to highly specialized research or applications where its unique properties are critical.
Iridium (Ir)	2,446	2,000-2,300 (Est.)	Extremely Expensive	One of the few metals that remains stable in air at very high temperatures. Used for ultra-high temperature experiments under oxidizing conditions.
